Was impressed by Steele. Obviously got to see more, but I'm hoping he's good enough to make the roster. Having a good FB around is always good for an Andy Reid offense, imo. [Reply]
This guy softened the blow of the Hollywood situation for me. He busted out an Angry Runs scepter-worthy carry in his first game. Would be nice to see a legit RB2 drop onto our roster out of nowhere. [Reply]

Steele has always reminded me of Alstott. Said it a few times yesterday.
Jesus that would be amazing if he keeps his foot on the gas.
If he can catch the ball out of the backfield like they say he can too (guys on 810 says he’s a LOAD to take down when he catches the ball in the flat and gets load of steam before a DB or LB can get to him) him and Pacheco will be a nasty 1-2 punch.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he already made the team prior to those runs he made yesterday, but let's just say Carson solidified his roster spot with those great runs. Andy found his fullback and we definitely needed a "Mike Alstott" type of back on this team when needed on those 3rd and shorts and goal line situations. He is deceptively quicker and faster than you think, which is even better in those short yardage situations. [Reply]
